    Put a linux partition on your win box and do all this plus lots more via
    abicommand :-)

    Costs you nothing but the time to learn something new. Actually Linux
    installs are really painless easy than install windows and a lot
    quicker. Far less reboots required and now product registration stuff.

    If you have to lots of routine document stuff writing command-line scripts
    are definately the way to go.

    Or convince a Win developer to produce a plugin to this. It's not hard at
    all.

    Cheers
